Narrating the incident, the passenger wrote: “Today as I travelled to Chennai with a heavy heart having lost my dad to Covid, I was so heartened to witness the flight crew saving the life of a passenger who fell unconscious mid-flight and stopped breathing.
They were remarkable, kept their calm, moved swiftly, had a clear chain of command with 4 crew members following a step-by-step protocol - provided oxygen support, performed CPR procedures mid-flight and sent a family safe without losing a life.”
Thanking the crew of the airline, he wrote: “Here it is for the unnamed heroes, unassuming and two of the humble crew members from the team of 4. THANK U for saving a life!”
